Mook
They just need you to average at least 22 to 25.
Jeff Teague
We've been saying that for a whole year. Yeah, if he ain't in the 20s, it's gonna be a lower.
DJ Wells
He bouncy D Hunt. Not too much to smile about this game. Josh Giddy, though, went crazy.
Jeff Teague
Trippy dub yesterday.
DJ Wells
He be hooping, man.
Mook
Yeah.
Jeff Teague
Yeah, Josh get it.
Mook
His numbers are crazy this year.
Jeff Teague
He's got great numbers. His game. I don't like watching it, but he is a really effective player. He's really. He's really good at basketball, but I hate watching it.
DJ Wells
And these are what it feel like.
Jeff Teague
To lose for a month straight. I ain't never done that.
Mook
That's wild.
Jeff Teague
Like, damn. We really have not won.
Mook
Yeah, bro.
Jeff Teague
Kobe White came back during Christmas, a whole different holiday.
DJ Wells
He just said okc.
Jeff Teague
Nah, he need to go there.
DJ Wells
Bro, get the off.
Jeff Teague
Yeah, right. He can hoop. Everything work worked out for the best.
DJ Wells
That's a fact. He's.
Jeff Teague
He's a really good match. Never help off Kobe white.
DJ Wells
Too small, bro.
Mook
But that's what Darius Garland's supposed to be doing. The Kobe White effect for the bulls, like the 25, five and maybe a little higher assist. But they. They need another scoring punch on the Cavs, bro. It's just not enough.
Jeff Teague
Yeah, they need more.
Mook
Yeah. Cause MOOC want to have no scores 23 and 12. You see, that ain't really happening like that.
Jeff Teague
Like, all the premier teams got two guys that are, like, dynamic besides okc. But okc, they system is so good that it's geared around SGA doing this thing. But everybody else is pitching in with 19, 20, or whatever.
Mook
Yeah.
Jeff Teague
Donovan Mitchell, the only scorer on this team, bona fide. And the reason he got a score. Cause he already can't defend, bro. Yeah, but you gotta go out there and score, bro. You gotta get your offense, gotta be your defense.
Mook
Yeah.
Jeff Teague
So he gotta be 22 plus. And I love DJ, man. I think he cold, but it's just, like, right now for the team.
DJ Wells
Yeah. He is coming off injury.
Jeff Teague
Coming off injury, but he gotta be 22, 23. I need another score. And we said, like, unless it's gonna be a phenomenal defender that's gonna be playing that other guard position. Like we said, Jrue Holiday and all them guys that can get you 15, 16, but they ain't giving up 30 every night. Yeah. Unless you're gonna find something like that, you gotta go get another score. Cause right now, looking at the scores like, I'm not.
Mook
That ain't gonna get it nothing on Jerry Allen, y'.
Halion/US Soccer Ad
All.
Mook
14 and 7 is quiet. I told you, I'm sleep.
Jeff Teague
They ain't gonna get it. Compared to, like, other teams that we've been looking at. When we type in the Lakers, we see Luca averaging 35. You see Austin Reeves averaging 28.
DJ Wells
Yeah. Brian average.
Mook
Y' all was the best out east last year. Y' all got. Y' all some same pieces besides. Oh, boy, that messed up against the Pacers. Yeah.
DJ Wells
They got Lonzo to refill that role.
Jeff Teague
They the Hawks, bro. They the Hawks team that I had. Like, it was cool. Obviously, Donovan was the outlier, but, like, after a while, you just need more pieces. Like, they make. Yeah, they making Jerry Allen look like that, though, because they not doing their job, bro. No, you don't ever score.
Mook
And bro, 14, seven, he's always getting.
Jeff Teague
Like, yeah, like, look at these stats.
DJ Wells
Like he always do. Yeah.
Jeff Teague
Nah. Jerry Allen they second best player is averaging 19. Brian third best average of 17. And then right after that DeAndre averaging 15. Yeah.
DJ Wells
Roy averaging 13. Marcus Smart even averaging 10.
Mook
So yeah, Jerry Allen, bro, was known for defensive rebounding and blocking.
Jeff Teague
Can you look at Denver down bro. I'm just going to name look at top 7 25. It would be cool, bro. Now you want Jerry Allen average 19.
Mook
I want Jerry Allen to not average 14 and 7. Cause that's somebody off the bench.
Jeff Teague
14 and 10.
Mook
14, 10 and 3.
DJ Wells
I think he capable 14 10.
Jeff Teague
Yeah. Denver at 29. 20.
DJ Wells
Joker average 30. Jamal Murray 25. Aaron Gordon 19.
Jeff Teague
It's just not. You can't only team that's doing that. What they're doing right now is Detroit. But Detroit got guys that guard.
DJ Wells
Yeah, let's go to Detroit roster as well.
Jeff Teague
Everybody guard on Detroit.
DJ Wells
That's a fact make a difference, bro.
Jeff Teague
Yeah. So like Mooc said, if you're not gonna be scoring, you better be locking up. And that's what Detroit do.
DJ Wells
Well yeah, you look at Detroit right now, you got Cade at 27, Jalen Durant at. Is that 18? Yeah. And you got 14 for the Tobias Harris, 12 for Duncan Robinson, 11 for Thompson, twin 10 for Isaiah Store.
Jeff Teague
Yeah.
DJ Wells
Harris Lavert right there. Basically a nine and a half. So yeah, you need that, that second score punch or let's just like you.
Jeff Teague
Said and Detroit's gonna need that second scoring punch here soon. So like I'm sure they're gonna make a trade for another score because they gonna need it bad. They seen the playoffs last year like. But they guard. Their identity is being defensively. Sounded like they gonna be locked in on defense. That's what they do. The Cavs don't guard well. Yeah.
Mook
The payroll just too silly over there, bro. We don't be in people's pockets like that. But I'm sure the owners just kind of like look at something that's facts.
Jeff Teague
Who the Pistons. Yeah. They guard.
DJ Wells
Yeah. Call turnovers transition buckets.
Jeff Teague
They guard so they can have a team built like Chicago right now. Because they built theirs off defense.
Mook
Yeah.
Jeff Teague
So this is the Derrick Rose effect when he was in Chicago. The Cavs they got defensive player of the year. But Darius Garland is a liability on defense. Donovan Mitchell can guard when he wants to, but he's not really.
Mook
Yeah, he has to score 50 a night.
DJ Wells
Somebody else play defense, bro.
Jeff Teague
Sam Merrow's not a defender at all Christmas like DeAndre D. Hunt can guard but he's not known to be.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
Jeff Teague
He's the best defender in the world.
Mook
Be that scoring punch that they need.
Jeff Teague
Yeah.
Mook
If anything.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
Jeff Teague
Right now. And they're not even the worst in defense, though. But individually, though.
Mook
Yeah, that's just a. That's just a weird team.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
Jeff Teague
Individually you gotta be like 16. And that's what they team kind of is right now. But middle of pac team.
DJ Wells
Yeah. 15, 13. The stand is in the East. Boy, you should be way higher than what you are right now. Even though the east is still wide open to an extent, is there any moves they can make to make this team a little bit more competitive?
Jeff Teague
Yeah.
Mook
How to get rid of DJ and.
Jeff Teague
Jared Allen, Bro, I don't think they gotta trade Jared Allen. I think. I don't think they gotta trade nobody. They just gotta pick up. They play like Darius Garland just gotta play better. If he can't play. If y' all don't think he got it no more, he can't play better. His toe is messed up for real. And he just lost that speed or that burst or whatever he had that was making him special before. You might have to look in a different direction, but I just think he gotta play better. Like shooting 36%.
Mook
Yeah, that's unlike him.
Jeff Teague
Yeah. Yeah.
Mook
That ain't unlike him.
DJ Wells
Clearly he's more capable than that, y'.
Jeff Teague
All. Yeah, he's all star guard. Like, that's not him. Not that we know. Yeah, he's a shots bro. Yeah, he's a great shooter.
DJ Wells
Now, speaking of players who can help another team be hen they've been some. Some chatter for your Timberwolves picking up Kobe White. You something with him off the bench, on that squad, off the pond.
Jeff Teague
These scores they won't.
Mook
We get him.
Jeff Teague
That'd be off the bench. That's good.
Mook
Give us 20 a night.
Jeff Teague
I mean, you already got Bones Holland on the bench.
DJ Wells
Oh, no.
Jeff Teague
Respects the bones coming off different than Bo. I love Bones, but I'm just saying, you got. You got Nas coming off the bench. He's six minutes a year. He won't score.
DJ Wells
His points are needed.
Jeff Teague
You got any Edwards bench points?
Mook
If he come over there, they would be close.
Jeff Teague
My guy just called me before the show started, too. Dante, look like you on the move again. N You ready to speak Chicago.
Mook
Shout out to my dog.
Jeff Teague
He about find his way back to the Knicks.
Mook
Watch.
Jeff Teague
That's what he.
Mook
That's crazy.
Jeff Teague
That's what rumors now they say he trying to go back to the Knicks.
DJ Wells
There's been some rumors on him too. Yeah.
Jeff Teague
Oh, for real? Yeah. He about to find his way. Luke knows something.
DJ Wells
How you feel about Dante and Cleveland though?
Jeff Teague
Nah, hell no. I won't go back to the Knicks. That's what you with. Your guys don't play with the friendly games y' all be playing.
Mook
Ah, chill, chill, T. Go over there.
Jeff Teague
And clean that up.
Mook
Hell no.
Jeff Teague
Tap in with your Wildcats.
Mook
Go over there and clean that up.
Jeff Teague
T. I know he watching right now. About to be funny as hell. Let me see if he tastes like a Jordan. Delaware, baby be funny as.
DJ Wells
Oh, man. Yeah.
Mook
As a stadium. What?
DJ Wells
This is random? No, but have y' all seen for the championship or the NBA cup next year? They considered moving to a different venue. One of the places they thought was Cameron Indoor. Man, I couldn't think of more. That auxiliary gym, that baby ass gym.
Jeff Teague
That's one of the worst gyms in the history. Like it's a cool place to play, but it is. It's small as.
Mook
Yeah, like it's gonna have to be.
Jeff Teague
30 seconds, I think. I bet they only fit. I think I only fit like maybe 5, 000 people in there.
DJ Wells
5, 6, small, man. Have the cup at the better record of the people involved in the situation.
Mook
Play their enclosure in the au.
Jeff Teague
I never played in Duke. I played.
Mook
Cause I know au. Some of them tournaments used to be there.
Jeff Teague
Take it to Kentucky. I played. It's a. It's a fireplace to play. But that gym, little as it's old too. We said 75,000. Take it to our player can take it.
DJ Wells
You're saying no five star hotels, Lexus, baby.
Jeff Teague
At all. That's real. It ain't.
DJ Wells
They be at the Red Roof Inn.
Jeff Teague
It's the one connected to the gym. That's the best y' all gonna get.
Mook
Damn. Y' all got a hotel connect to the gym? Yeah, motherfucker weak.
DJ Wells
Yeah, get well. So hey, can we get the document? Let us see Don Hope out. Yeah, but it might be a vibe.
Jeff Teague
To go to Duke though.
Mook
Nah, that.
Jeff Teague
It's too small, bro.
Mook
Not for the.
Jeff Teague
I mean, don't nobody go to the NBA Cup. Vegas is cool, bro.
DJ Wells
Yeah, I like the Vegas aspect of it.
Jeff Teague
But you got nice hotels.
DJ Wells
If not, let them play a home game, bro. I'm not mad at it.
Jeff Teague
You can celebrate after you win. What you gonna do and do? Nothing.
DJ Wells
Leave immediately, get the out of dodge, start the jet. And one. Yeah, bro, if I ever started, I'm gonna play defense, bro. That's what y' all supposed to do.
Jeff Teague
Like look at like. All right, pause that right there. For me. And this is no disrespect. We got Dean Wade on the court. Who my man at the top?
DJ Wells
This slow mo was funny as hell.
Jeff Teague
I don't know. Who at the top? Dean Wade, Robin Thicke. Who my man right here. All right. No disrespect to either one of them too, but like, that's. That's our rotations right now. Yeah, we, we got, we got. Like when we got Marcus Smart. No, and I ain't saying that Tyson ain't better than Marcus Smart. I don't know. I ain't really tapped in.
DJ Wells
He averaged like 12, 13, ain't he?
Jeff Teague
I don't know. But I'm just saying, like, we got some.
DJ Wells
Yeah, yeah. From 14.
Jeff Teague
Yeah, that's cool.
DJ Wells
Shout out Jaylon Tyson.
Jeff Teague
No disrespect to Jaylon Tyson, man, he might be having a hell of a year, but we going into the playoffs depending on Jaylon Tyson. Yeah, that's a rough game.
Mook
Like that's supposed to be a bonus.
Jeff Teague
Yeah. If that 13 is meant to be. Like, I need this 13 to win. That. That's messed up. Like we shouldn't be. That should be luxury. Like. Yeah, we got this kid playing at a high level version 13, man, he.
Mook
Shoot 53 from the field.
Jeff Teague
That's dope killing. They need him back bad. Yeah, they need him back bad. 21 too. Last.
DJ Wells
But that's like last year when they had Craig and them other guys come off the bench who were just giving them extra buckets, but they was already. Their first scene was already solidified. That's why it looked like that.
Jeff Teague
But that's what I'm saying. Like they was dependent on Ty Jerome last year.
DJ Wells
Okay.
Jeff Teague
Like it was a big. Like this year they're going to be depending on this Tyson kid. And there's nothing wrong he having a hell of a year. They depended on Sam Merrill last year, but it was an early exit because these are not proven guys. Not saying they not good. They are good.
Mook
It's just a difference.
Jeff Teague
Yeah, but when I'm going into a playoff series, we need some proven guys that's been in these moments. Like Donovan Mitchell has proven right when he get in the playoffs. We already know what don about to do.
DJ Wells
35.
Jeff Teague
My guy last year, Garland was hurt, so he gotta get in a groove. Cause he's the only one that's been proven. He's been an all star. We know he can play, but he ain't had no playoff moments.
Mook
Yeah.
Jeff Teague
So we got to go find somebody who had a playoff moment. To come off this bench. I don't know who they can get.
DJ Wells
Yeah, last year, they made a late season push to get D. Hunt to solidify, but, yeah, they ran to a real team last year. It got wicked, man.
Jeff Teague
So who they played?
DJ Wells
No, you know who set the phone.
Jeff Teague
Okay.
DJ Wells
The team to break some other franchise, baby.
Jeff Teague
Yeah, they just need another proven player. And they. They need Max bad. He was playing well for them last year.
DJ Wells
Yeah, man.
Jeff Teague
Shout out to the dude. Tyson playing well, but it's just like they need a couple more proven playoff players for where they need to go with the highest payroll, the expectations they had going into this year. But, shit, I don't care.
DJ Wells
We about to move on. But I asked y' all this question. If they are not a top four seed this year, does this team get broke up?
Jeff Teague
Blow it up.
DJ Wells
Do you entertain trading Donovan Mitchell?
Jeff Teague
Nah.
Mook
Okay.
Jeff Teague
I just don't know how it's gonna trade if I'm Donovan Mitchell. I don't even.
Mook
You're gonna die, bro. Get me out of here. The Cavs are going to die if Donovan Mitchell leaves.
DJ Wells
Well, LeBron already left, y'.
Jeff Teague
All.
DJ Wells
I can't be that worse.
Mook
They can't afford that, bro.
Jeff Teague
No, I mean, because he deserves to win. Why would he want to leave, though? Like, where do you want to go? Yeah, bro, I always want to ask players that. It's like star players. If you're a star player, like, what more do you want? At least if I'm gonna lose, let me live somewhere.
Mook
I want to live.
DJ Wells
Go to Miami Heat down to Miami.
Mook
That could be a fair take, too. Trade for Hero a thing.
Jeff Teague
No, but nobody's trading Donovan Mitchell for Tyler Hero. And it's not that Tyler Hero's not nice. It's just something with that.
DJ Wells
Yeah, I'm rolling. I'm just saying, based around that, if Don says, like, we can start there.
Jeff Teague
But we're gonna have to add some pieces. You better be bringing Khalil Weir. Tyler Hero.
DJ Wells
I ain't doing too much. You have Davion Mitchell?
Jeff Teague
No, I need to have him. Today's a solid league guard for sure.
DJ Wells
Respect.
Jeff Teague
He's a good player.
DJ Wells
Oh, y' all can have Terry Rosier's contract, but got my phone.
Jeff Teague
So I don't know.
DJ Wells
For the next three years was getting 46, 50, 53.
Jeff Teague
I'm very comfortable where I'm at 30. I'm killing. I like that you want to win, though.
Mook
Somebody will go play with Donald.
DJ Wells
Oh, yeah. He gonna turn the player option down.
Jeff Teague
Anybody going to Cleveland, bro, Because he's.
DJ Wells
Gonna get 60, 65. Three year extension 180, 200. Hey, shout out to you.
Jeff Teague
Way to keep killing, boy. And your shoes comfortable.
DJ Wells
Come on, man. Shout out to Don.
Jeff Teague
He living a good life.
DJ Wells
Louisville legend for sure. All right, let's get the super chat this morning. Shout out to freaking mouth for dropping the room and hooping on the clock. Jeff and movie. So why Mac look like Aladdin?
Jeff Teague
Like Aladdin.
DJ Wells
I like that man. Rookie of the year. Knowing that CP3 and Kobe are both ball dominant stuff, why do people think that duo would have worked together even for one season in 2011?
Mook
I would love to see see him.
Jeff Teague
Give it a shot because they both.
DJ Wells
Were superior amazing basketball players. That all that would have worked out.
Jeff Teague
They really smart, bro. Yeah, yeah. But I would have hated to see Kobe CP with Kobe. I ain't gonna lie. They would have put CP in that triangle offense. That is terrible. That would have been horrible, bro.
Mook
I. I see. I see them that Lakers championship like having another championship with cp, bro.
Jeff Teague
No.
DJ Wells
You don't see it working out with Phil Jackson.
Jeff Teague
Yes. CP and Phil Jackson. You just heard what CP did to Tyloon, though. Imagine Phil Jackson telling ain't no triangle. No triangle. I'm a pick and roll. God. You think I'm about to go Derek Fisher this. I'm about to go to the.
Mook
I would have won three in a row, bro.
Jeff Teague
CNCP be Derek Fisher would have been nasty. That's weird. Nasty, bro. I'm about to go to the corner.
Mook
He would have remixed it, bro.
Jeff Teague
Put CP in these picking rolls and Dom and kill. I would have hated that.
Mook
Actually.
Jeff Teague
Would have been disgusting. CP in the triangle is awful.
DJ Wells
Hey, Lakers fans live by that. They said, you know what I'm saying? David Stern messed up the dynasty, man. That's what they say.
Jeff Teague
Yeah.
Mook
God. Bust the under, but you know, powerful it.
Jeff Teague
If they would have played a different offensive style, like I would have been roasting. But the triangle, Hell no, you nothing.
Mook
I think David Start said, man, they don't want to play with this anyway. That back.
DJ Wells
He said, hey, I'm trying to sell this scene.
Jeff Teague
Y' all crazy. Who agreed to this trade?
DJ Wells
N. We gonna fix this, cuz that first trade was egregious, bro.
Jeff Teague
Who did they trade for that though?
Mook
I don't know.
DJ Wells
I believe the first time it was.
Jeff Teague
Like CP for like.
DJ Wells
It was crazy. It was something stupid.
Jeff Teague
Yeah, it was like. Was it.
DJ Wells

DJ Wells
No, Pal was in rumors, but I don't think he Was in that with.
Mook
Nah, I don't think Pal was straight up for that. You could be right, but I don't think it was Pal, bro.
Jeff Teague
Who did they trade for?
DJ Wells
It was something egregious they had to get when they did that deal that out of pocket. They'll tell us in the chat for sure, but.
Jeff Teague
Yeah, I forgot who they traded CP for.
DJ Wells

DJ Wells
What?
Jeff Teague
Oh, me go do work y' all.
DJ Wells
Fry haven't had because of health issues. I apologize if I already spoke on this, but y' all think Jimmy Dre and Giannis could coexist? Glad you feeling better, brother. But Jimmy Butler, Draymond, Giannis, that locker room is going to be a lot of conversations. There's no way.
Jeff Teague
I don't like that. That's a bad mix. Yeah.
DJ Wells
Draymond gonna be the real coach in this situation. All right. I've been refining varsity high school for four years, and we'll be doing college next year. It amazed me how many high school AU coaches really don't know the game. And the kids suffer because of your thoughts, boys.
Mook
Daddies is the coaches got a bunch of hood trying to clean their money up starting programs. That's just, you know, that's the way the world now, bro.
Jeff Teague
I think. I think parents fire documentary, I think it is.
DJ Wells
I think you ain't seen it tap in.
Mook
It is wow.
DJ Wells
Facts.
Jeff Teague
I think parents become delusional, though. And I think highlight videos make people delusional. Like, I get it. Everybody promoting themselves because all the money you can make doing it and all the content. I get it. We make content. I get it. But some parents are just, like, delusional. And some coaches feed into what the parents, you know, I mean, some people try and make a living off the kids. Gas, whatever they need to be gas just to be in that.
Mook
That's the biggest problem.
Jeff Teague
But a lot of people be delusional. Like, some of these kids not going nowhere. They're gonna keep it real. That's real, bro.
Mook
No, and that's. That's real because y' all know, but the parents just genuinely don't know, bro.
Jeff Teague
Yeah, like some of these kids are going to go to schools and they might go to a D2, they might go to D3 wherever they go and they might not play ever. But like we didn't gass them up and did so much and that when these kids get disappointed, like, it didn't work out for me and then it's gonna be whole mental health.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
Jeff Teague
That's why I keep telling. That's why I don't gas the kids. I tell them the truth. They probably think I'm tough on them. I'll be like, listen, Lou know, I'd be like, it's probably a 99 chance. None of y' all going to the NBA.

I know some kids that think they going to the league, bro. And it's like, come on, bro. You know, like I tell them, like, it ain't. You ain't got to make to the NBA to be successful basketball player.
DJ Wells
It's a fact.
Jeff Teague
You can be a good basketball player, play overseas or whatever. But I'm like, is it the a. It's a 99 chance y' all not gonna make the NBA. It's like damn near impossible. What happened to just going to college for free, bro? Like, getting a good education?
Mook
I don't see that.
DJ Wells
Yeah, that's what I was going for.
Jeff Teague
I like that, bro.
DJ Wells
You blessed if you get a college scholarship.
Jeff Teague
Parents make that a given now.
Mook
Yeah, yeah.
Jeff Teague
It's not a given. Like, it's an expectation. Like, oh, my kids going to college. Like, nah, it's not a. That's not a given at all. Like, it's actually even harder than back in the day. But like, my boy Kyrie Walker about to go back to college. Facts, bro. He went to the G League for the guy. He going. They said Texas Tech, Baylor, a couple schools, 8, 25, man. He went to the G Project. But my pops was pushing college, bro. I ain't think nothing of no NBA for a long time, bro. Trying to go to college for free, bro. And the only thing that. The thing that people don't realize, nothing's changed. You could have all the highlight videos. You can do all that stuff. The rubber gonna meet the road one day. Your school said. I mean, your skill set and all the stuff that you work on is gonna have to eventually meet up.
DJ Wells
Like.
Mook
Yeah.
Jeff Teague
Definitely come to nothing changed about basketball. They might just shoot more threes.
Mook
Players got bigger.
Jeff Teague
That's pause. That's probably taller.
Mook
I guess I call my tall too. Whatever y' all want to say.
Jeff Teague
I mean, that's about it. Obviously, they got people might be more athletic, people might be a little taller. But the game is still the game.
Mook
Yeah.
Jeff Teague
You still gotta have a certain skill set to be good. You have to. It's gonna catch up with you eventually. I can hide. I can do all the highlight videos I want.
Mook
That's true.
Jeff Teague
I can hide everything I want to hide. Yeah. Eventually it's gonna catch up to you.
DJ Wells
And the worst part is getting. You know what I'm saying? The realization as you get too old for you to capitalize.
Mook
Clearly you're not getting too old.
Jeff Teague
Touche, boy.
Mook
I'm trying to stay away from that, though. You know, I'm.
Jeff Teague
I'm happy that Kyrie going.

DJ Wells
It's a different type of crime.
Jeff Teague
Y' all fried.
DJ Wells
Yo, Nacho just started me asking what was going in your head. Game three, 2011 against D Rose. That's probably why I didn't make the super chat through James row.
Jeff Teague
But 2011 was that. That was my second year. Oh, that was a playoff. Yeah. He was killing. The hell you was, too. I was killing too, Hope. Nah, he was killing, though. I think. I think the game. He had 30. I mean, 40, I think not at 40.
Mook
That's wild.
Jeff Teague
Oh, that's a game. He told me.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
Jeff Teague
Yeah. I'm gonna get out the game. He left the game.
Mook
Oh, 15 years ago.
Jeff Teague
Wow. Shout out to that moment. I know I had at least 18, 20 that game. I mean, I started the game off pretty hot. People seen that as you playing D Rose, but I felt like you was comfortable. You play him your whole life, bro. I had 21. Like, damn. I was leading score for our team. Hey, for 13 they got 44. Damn, he was killed. Yeah, that was Mother's Day. He was going crazy. 16 for 27.

DJ Wells
Second year.

Jeff Teague

Mook
Seven. Definitely don't with them.
Jeff Teague
Only shot seven times.
Mook
He definitely went off.
Jeff Teague
Yeah, he was probably mad at me.
Mook

Jeff Teague
Yeah, he had so much bounce. My Lord, he had bounce.
DJ Wells
Hey, man, damn.
Jeff Teague
Jamal only had seven.

Okay, so the next year we beat Orlando, right? My second year. Yeah, we beat Orlando. So that's the year Dwight, he was. He was dunking all over us, right? I think Dwight the first game. Oh yeah, this is. We had Eton. We had a mic. Jason Collins on here, right?
DJ Wells
Yep.
Jeff Teague
Jason Collins was on this team. So we started. We called him. Shaq was the diesel. We called Jason Collins. Jason Collins, Premium plus. So he used to be like, yo, you got Dwight tonight. Premium plus. That's a wild combo anyway.
DJ Wells
And it's a wild matchup.
Jeff Teague
My Jason Collins going through some.
DJ Wells
Yeah, man, Prayers up for Jason. What's wrong with it? For sure. Yeah, he's balancing some health issues right now.
Jeff Teague
Yeah, jc, I ain't know, but damn, it's still a good story. Listen, jc, we call him Premium plus, right? So jc, he. Everybody know he was sick.
Mook
But Jason calls, he got a Gordon White and call this Premium plus, bro. Who's the nozzle? Cause the Punta Gangas.

Jeff Teague
Cuz it was based off Shaq. So we call a preview of plus shout out to jc. I didn't know you was going through that, man. My brother. Damn, man, I hate that to hear that. Real. But anyway, we. They played. And Jason, Jason was a good defender, you know, I mean, he guarded Shaq, so it wasn't. Dwight said crazy screens too. Yeah, he was a good defender. So etime on the sideline. He's so mad game. He like, Jason, Jason ain't ready. He ain't. And he wasn't cussing, but he just like, he not ready. I need my shot. So he turned around, boom, dunked on JC Zaza, you up next.

He in there, he going crazy. I'm like, ah, man, I hope Etan get in, boy. He ain't get back in. Cause I was on that bitch crying. He was over there. When I get back in, it's over with, man.

DJ Wells
Nothing but positive things about Jason Collins, man.
Mook
Definitely. I respect.
DJ Wells
That's crazy.
Jeff Teague
Damn, I ain't know that Mook.
DJ Wells
I seen Lamar Peters interview. Do you think the 1v1 space is going to be like boxing with records? It's going to be hard to dedicate. Dictate legacy, who's the best. Dedicate. Not the word there, but respect.
Jeff Teague
Yeah.
DJ Wells
Shout out to backcourt connection.
Jeff Teague
Yeah, we was talking about it with Devin in the lab yesterday. They're gonna have to do like weight classes, bro. It's gonna be hard. Yeah, they're doing weight classes now. Small guards gonna play small guard. Like you're gonna match up with your size.
Mook
Lamar ain't gonna be able to play nobody.
Jeff Teague
He can still play NASA. He the same size as him. Let me ask you this about the one on one space. Obviously, I think it's a. It's a cool thing. It's dope. Shout out to everybody who play in the one on one thing. Do you think that it'll ever go like mainstream? If they put the right backing behind it, like they're gonna have to get the right people in it. It's gonna have to get some more pros. I think it goes mainstream. You think it'll lose his like violence? Yeah, I mean anything go mainstream, you know, it take a little hit on that type of.
Mook
Could it be as big as N1 was?
Jeff Teague
Yeah, that's what it like it can be. It got the potential too. The thing I'm scared about the one on one space and what I like about it too is they give you that street culture kind of. But like the games be so bad because of the fouling that you can't even appreciate the art of some of the people. The thing about that is most of the game's not like that. Briscoe and Nas game was so bad with the Fallon that it took the narrative over. But most of the game's not like that. It's physical, but that shit was real bad. Yeah, but when it's your highlighted game, like when you think of a one on one space, we be looking at like for just a common fan, like we'd be like, all right, I Want to see what the one on one about? You gonna type in Briscoe versus Nas is the most anticipated game or whatever. And then when you watch that besides Lance and Bees, but if you're not looking for pros or, like, NBA guys, just looking for guys that get down in the one on one space, you're gonna type that in, and when you watch it, you're gonna be like, now, they knew they took a hit with that game. Like, that was supposed to take it over the top. They took a hit with that game, but most of the game's not like that. Like, they just did one with Next Chapter. That shit wasn't like that. Darius in them 1. No fatland. It was smooth. It's a good bump. Nah, I like that.
DJ Wells
No, well said, man.
Jeff Teague
I just want to be able to see the dude's skill set. Like, that's what I really be wanting.
DJ Wells
Yeah, well said. All right, man. Getting rid of a coral was a huge mistake because he was the Cavs best performative defender, and Ty Jerome was an amazing backup who took the pressure off. They don't use Allen correctly, and they think Moby is Giannis and he's not fair assessments of that casting. Well said. Isaac Akura was a hell of a defender for that team. Yeah, give us one to the Cavs, man.
Jeff Teague
Love the show.
DJ Wells
Been here since the start. So this debate, who had the better handles, Crawford or Kyrie? Always said, Crawford will break you down better, but Kyrie gets to the bucket better. Go across the panel.
Jeff Teague
They both got handles, bro.
DJ Wells
You got a favor than that?
Mook
Nah, two different style players. To me, I feel like Jamal Crawford purposely wanted to make you fall and shoot a far back.
Jeff Teague
Three facts.
Mook
Kyrie all around y'. All. No pause, bro. He gets it around. All around the room better. Ninja Mall.
Jeff Teague
Come on, bro. Why you had to put all around?
Mook
I'm just saying, because Kyrie's so versatile when he. When he up there.
Jeff Teague
Like, I think Kyrie uses his handles as far as, like, I don't think he plans it, and I'm not saying Jamal plans it, but it's like, you know when Jamal about to get into his bag, you can see it. He's starting. Yeah, Kyrie, you never know when he about to. He just would be going. All of a sudden, the shit just start happening. That shit crossed up, but Jamal, you can see it forming, like, bounce, bounce. Oh, something about to happen. And he'll go into his shit, and you look crazy. But Kyrie, you never know when it's coming. Like, he has Snatched back in and out, cross spin.
Mook
I agree.
Jeff Teague
It's just different.
DJ Wells
Two of the best handles of all time, for sure.
Jeff Teague
For sure.
DJ Wells
They go wrong either way. The Nesmith talk about trading MPJ should the Pistons go after him? I have seen some rumors the same. You know what? I'm possibility.
Jeff Teague
Even though he know how to play winning basketball, I'm something I was about to say.
Mook
Why not me?
Jeff Teague
He know how to play winning basketball for sure, for sure. But I just don't fit. Think he fit that culture. They like a grind out, bro. Nah, bro.
Mook
They get mpj. He could put him playing with K.
Jeff Teague
Would be so good because he. He can shoot the ball.
DJ Wells
And it's your second unit.
Mook
Score that 16, bro.
Jeff Teague
Second unit.
DJ Wells
Yeah. I'm saying he gonna start for sure, but I'm saying.
Mook
Oh, yeah, you ain't coming off. No, no, no.
DJ Wells
For sure, but I'm saying. But as far as, like, when K goes to the bench, that's your Prim now.
Mook
I'm 26.
Jeff Teague
I like MPJ just doing what he doing now.
DJ Wells
Yeah, buckets.
Jeff Teague
He played in the serious system before.
Mook
That changes.
Jeff Teague
Detroit do the same thing. Just come to Detroit.
Mook
They're top at the. They're top at the east, for sure. For sure. Then it's theirs to lose. With a player like that.
Jeff Teague
I think they can get a couple different pieces that be better scoring. He scores. He do score. But you don't think it's somebody better.
Mook
K1 had to shoot 50 times in the game.
Jeff Teague
That's a little more reasonable. Like, defensively.
Mook
I'm okay with a 16 offensive weapon like that, bro.
Jeff Teague
He can rebound.
Mook
Yeah, he ain't. He ain't got a guard up like that, bro. Cause, I mean, who. Who the hell would be better than him? For real?
Jeff Teague
We got defenders. We got defenders. We just need you to try a little bit, bro.
Mook
Yeah, but would you rather have 16?
Jeff Teague
And I'm not saying Zach Levine a better defender at all. Would you rather have Zach Levine or you'd rather have.
Mook
Zach Levine's better than Michael Porter.
Jeff Teague
So who would you rather have?
Mook
I'm taking. I'm taking Freaky Zach for sure. Yeah, but I'm saying, though, like, that's damn near it at that position, bro. And that's not a star. A star like that.
Jeff Teague
I ain't mad. I ain't mad at him going there. I don't. I just. I just like what Detroit got going on. They like gritty and grind. Like, they kind of give you that Memphis vibe a little bit when they was like and kind of like it's really the Chicago Bulls. Like we said that a couple times on here with D. Rose and them. And I kind of like that they do need another score, but I just wanted to be a scorer. That kind of fit they culture. And I'm not saying MPJ don't. He might be able to adjust or whatever, but right now, to me, I don't think he fits that culture. He a chill.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
Mook
Of course they're not gonna get rid of him.
DJ Wells
But some people.
Mook
Stefan Castle.
Jeff Teague
Oh Lord, Lord.
Mook
Just talking about players.
Jeff Teague
Like a CJ.
DJ Wells
CJ would be good in Detroit.
Jeff Teague
CJ 50. That's why Castle is amazing. Yes. But CJ McCullum fit he another scoring guard. I'm not saying he the best defender, but he is tough. You know what I mean?
DJ Wells
He gonna compete.
Jeff Teague
He being in the playoff atmosphere. He gonna compete.
Mook
Yeah.
Jeff Teague
He a veteran and he know how to play with other star players. Not saying MPJ don't obviously play with yogis. Jamal Murray, he know how to fit his role, but he ain't never been put on the second player. Lloyd Marcus. I'm learning marketing gotta give up. But now that's different during Nah, now that's different.
DJ Wells
Can't do that move.
Mook
Gotta give up Isaiah store cuz he gotta go.
DJ Wells
But you need him enough now he. They probably not looking on that wave either. So probably can keep him. But I don't know what you to get Lori marketing.
Jeff Teague
But Lori marketing different. No, you gotta keep dur, bro. Not if y' all want Loy marketing.
Mook
The Jazz get dur it's up.
DJ Wells
We need him.
Jeff Teague
You can't. They ain't. They gotta get.
Mook
They a get Jaylen Dur they with them.
Jeff Teague
Oh Lord.
DJ Wells

Jeff Teague
Who are you?
DJ Wells
You guys post your your clips now, bro.
Jeff Teague
My knees hurt though. But respect, bro. Hey, yo knee can't hurt nowadays. This crazy.
DJ Wells
It's wicked out here, brother. I'm a little behind, but you need to cash the trade for Cam Thomas. Add another score. Sure. Yeah. They've said that the Nest have been trying to push Cam Thomas, but there's no big market for him right now. But I need a bucket. Yeah, why not? I watch five games on YouTube. Your team is athletic. How do you coach them to stay locked in versus lower ball? Moving teams, honey. The perfect shot.
Jeff Teague
You must have watched the last game. No shot clock basketball. Yeah, yeah. You know, man, it's kind of hard to replicate somebody holding the ball for three minutes. I ain't gonna lie. Yeah, it's pretty tough to replicate that in practice. Like, you just naturally don't pass the ball around for three minutes and expect to guard that long. So it was tough. But I mean, they did a good job last game of trying to keep that composure and just being aggressive defensively, getting in the passing line, trying to create some turnovers. But that is a tough thing to replicate, though. That's why I don't think playing basketball without a shot clock is real basketball. It doesn't help any of the players because everywhere else, every level, they're gonna go beyond high school basketball. They're gonna play with a shot clock for the rest of their life.
Mook
Absolutely.
Jeff Teague
And for them to get better and to get acclimated to that kind of basketball, we need to implement it in high school basketball all over the country.
Mook
Yeah.
Jeff Teague
Why not? Facts.
Mook
Yeah. That's why a lot of that shit stop now. Like after high school, it get quiet. So.
DJ Wells
Well said.
Jeff Teague
And that's why a lot of the talented players. I was talking to a kid from Chicago. Some people from Chicago, they don't have a shot clock either. And a lot of kids were leaving Chicago and going to play elsewhere, going to local cities next to Chicago, going to Ohio and stuff like that, or just different places that got shot clocks and they just wanted to get used.
Mook
Just better for your development.
Jeff Teague
Yeah, well said.
DJ Wells
Help us out.
Jeff Teague
What's it called?
Mook
The ih.
Jeff Teague
Whatever.
DJ Wells
Sia. Update them damn rules back.
Jeff Teague
Come on now.
DJ Wells
Happy Te, Tom Thursday, fellas. I praising Mitchell Robinson earlier this week for his rebounding. Jeff and Mook, who are the best rebounders you play with or against?
Jeff Teague

DJ Wells
Real bucket. Shout to Brandon Dawson for sure.
Jeff Teague

Jeff Teague
This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human.
This lively episode of "Club 520" features NBA All-Star Jeff Teague with co-hosts DJ Wells and Mook, delivering their signature blend of NBA talk, barber shop banter, and locker room storytelling. The crew dives into recent NBA games, team struggles, legendary player debates, and culture moments, all with a heavy dose of humor and authenticity. Several listener questions spark spirited side discussions, and Jeff Teague goes off-script for both storytelling and unfiltered basketball analysis.
On Cavs’ struggles:
“Donovan Mitchell, the only scorer on this team, bona fide. And the reason he got a score — cause he already can’t defend, bro. You gotta get your offense, gotta be your defense.”
— Jeff Teague (08:32)
On being real with kids:
“It’s a 99% chance none of y’all going to the NBA. It’s like damn near impossible.”
— Jeff Teague (27:10, 32:39)
On legendary teammates:
“I had no help… Where was you at Joe?”
— Jeff Teague on Joe Johnson during Hawks playoff runs (36:39)
On CP3 and Kobe in the triangle offense:
“CP in the triangle is awful.”
— Jeff Teague (22:21)
On AAU and parental delusions:
“Some parents are just, like, delusional. And some coaches feed into what the parents... some people try and make a living off the kids, gas whatever they need to be gassed just to be in that.”
— Jeff Teague (25:54)
On fun team memories:
“We called Jason Collins...Premium Plus. So he used to be like, yo, you got Dwight tonight. Premium Plus.”
— Jeff Teague (39:16)
The episode is loose and funny, filled with classic basketball nostalgia, insider stories, and real talk about the game at all levels. The chemistry between Jeff, DJ, and Mook is natural and easy, with lots of jokes, a few roasts ("I had no help!"), and plenty of sincere moments mixed in. Listener interaction gives the episode rhythm, while Jeff Teague’s candor keeps the analysis honest.
If you’re seeking hype NBA takes, player stories, and a true sports barbershop vibe, this episode delivers.
All in all, another can't-miss, laugh-out-loud, and sneakily insightful “Club 520 in the Morning.”
